THE DAGGER: Launches Video For “1978”

Swedish heavy metallers THE DAGGER have launched their first ever video clip for the track “1978”, taken from the band’s upcoming self-titled debut album, due out July 22nd in North America via Century Media Records. The video was directed by Stefan Jansson (PE Production AB) and can be viewed HERE.

For another preview of The Dagger, be sure to check out the following previously released tracks: “Ahead Of You All” and “Skygazer”. An earlier version of the album track “Dark Cloud” (released on a 7″ via High Roller Records in summer 2013) can be heard here.

While THE DAGGER cites legendary acts such as early IRON MAIDEN, DEEP PURPLE, JUDAS PRIEST and RAINBOW as influences, the band’s self-titled debut is far more than just a tribute to the past. Containing ten tracks that combine outstanding songwriting skills with the untamable power of early 80’s NWOBHM and the spirit of epic 70’s rock,The Dagger is a fresh take on old school hard rock / heavy metal from a line-up comprised of members that are or have previously been involved in bands such as DISMEMBER, GRAVE and NECRONAUT.
